Looking at Jacob's tapestry I couldn't help but draw comparisons
with a quote by the Austrian poet Rainer Wilke in which he
states

“Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every
thread is guided by an unspeakably tender hand, placed beside
another thread and held and carried by a hundred others.”

Again in it's interesting to note the tapestry seems to indicate
rows of hands outstretching from an icon of the eye of horus
towards a group of people - perhaps signifying for them to grasp
their destiny. Again this is obviously just speculation but the
comparison is interesting nonetheless.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the links between Lost
and Zoroastrian religion. Jacob's temple seems to resemble that of
a traditional Zoroastrian fire temple. Zoroastrian temples were
signified by large domed ceilings supported by large columns with a
large fire at the center of the sanctum. The temple also bears a
symbol of Faravahar - again Zoroastrian iconography. It also seems
that Jacob and the man in black are dressed in what seems like a
traditional Zoroastrian sudreh and kushti. It would be interesting
if this was a reference or allusion to the old Zoroastrian myth of
the two twins Spenta Mainyu and Angra Mainyu who were two opposite
divinities embodying order vs chaos, truth v falsehood and free
will vs fate.
